Material World

Are we living in a Materialistic world?
Sometimes I wonder whether isit the society who forces us to become the ugly human we are or we ourselves are blinded by our desires and greed. Quoting myself as an example, I leave my homeland (away from my parents and friends) to seek for a better future. Yesh, I am getting higher pay and a better quality style of life right now but am I not persuing the Materialistic factor in life by doing so? Leaving my family and friends is always a very tough choice for me and my wife and sometimes I do wonder whether it is the right thing to do.
However, watching my friends slogging their life away back in my homeland and thus spending a lot less quality time with family and friends is also equivalent to my situations.
Whats the point of working so hard and spending so little quality time when I can work lesser and spend more quality time when I go back for a holidays. Delimma situations? I guess this is another which come first -chicken or egg type of question.

Being in Perth for 3-4 years really force me to grow up and learn to make tough choices. I got a good job currently however I wish to move on from the constant stress IT line. I guess I will take some extra course to enrich myself and of course , secure more promotions and higher pay (sighz.... how materialistic I am).

Sometimes I do wish just to strike some big lotto and return to homeland with no worries~ Dreams dreams Dreams again~~

Christmas Plan
My life has been quite a rollercoaster recently (exciting). With Christmas around the corner, many plans have been made. Initially, I wanted to go back Singapore for a holiday but due to cost, I decided to stop the trip. Therefore, my friends and me have planned a trip to Mandurah (roughly 1 hr drive from Perth City) on Christmas eve. We planned to go there in the afternoon to fish, then BBQ and spend the night crabbing. Very outdoor and will be very fun! My adventurers spirit already on the rise thinking of it!

Last Sunday was my buddy birthday. Allan, HAPPY Birthday again. We had a minor celebration with him in a steak house. The steak was best manz. Anyway, his gf from Melbourne gave him a nice surprise by popping over from Melbourne on Sunday. I must say that Allan was very surprised and ganz dongz! When his gf left him back to Melbourne, I ask him to my house for dinner (knowing that he will be damn sad). LoL. ALLAN, if you reading this, SAD SIMI LANz! You will be going Melbourne soon to join her anyway!


Makan – WOW
Recently, I had been quite bored with WoW. We had stop all official raids til January 2008 as officer want to organise a Makan BBQ during Christmas. Suppose to be a joyous event, however I am unable to attend as I am overseas. Kinda sucky. LoL. I guess there is a price to pay if you stay overseas bah.

Guild has been expanding kinda fast. There are some issue recently in the guild, namely; guildies who want to PVP more than PVE, guildies who refuse to participate in forum and sign up for raid and would rather wait to be invited, and some more. I would like to comment that when a guild grows, many people with different life experience will join and conflicts will always occur when people with different culture tries to mix around with each other. Communication is the key to settle all the issue. Lets all show support to the officer and allow them to resolve any issue. As guildies, our responsibilities are to be open and have faith in the leaders. Leaders, if you feels burnt out or whatever, do not be afraid to ask for help or take a holidays to cool things off. We can always find suitable people to take over the duties in the mean time~ Just a game, relax and enjoy lar~

New Job, New Life

Hi, its been ages since I last update my blog. STOP complaining. I am updating now. LoL

Anyway , I already been in my new job for a month. I would like to comment about it. It was a LOVE and HATE job for me after the one month experience. Not that I mind the job stress and the frequent flying (I was in brisbane on 3 separate weeks - 6 plane flights of 5hrs 30min each) within the duration of 4 weeks. Not that I mind the working hours ( i was working 8-10 or more working hours when I am off-site). But seriously, til this stage, I think I am kinda useless that I still dunno anything about my product. Til now, I am only able to do the installation, do some minor script writings to test the customer server settings but NOTHING on my own VNET product. One thing I hate is to be out of control.
Imagine :
Boss: Help me configure your portal so that it can do this and that.
ME: Sorry I dunno anything bout it to configure it.

Results : DIE

Client : I need to include this and that into it.
ME: Sorry Dunno how to do that yet.

Results : Client upset, boss find out ==> DIE

LoL.

Well, I am not sure if it is exactly my fault to be so ignorant bout my own product still. I have been slogging my weekends trying to make things work. But til this stage, i still declare myself a VNET dummy. If only there is more training, or learning guides which are more useful.... Sighz.

Maybe I am just not cut out for this job... Being not in controlled in my new job really sucks big time for me. sighz.... depressed....

Back to learning my work.... (whipped myself)

2 Weeks back in my homeland

I finally got my desired holidays back into Singapore 2 weeks ago. Initially, my holiday plan only consists of 1 week in Singapore but sadly, I need to extend further 1 week. Don’t get me wrong here. I love to holiday in Singapore but only for the right reasons. A lot of you may already know this, but reasons for my delay are due to the death of my grandma back in Singapore. It happens so suddenly but I am glad that I am able to see her last moments and even managed to bring her to see doctor on the Monday. She was still so healthy and lively on Monday when I met her and suddenly she was took away from us just like this. It was a pity that I wasn’t able to spend more time with her but I am happy that she went away painless. Her death also brings all the family members closer as we spend a lot of time with our cousins, uncles or aunties at the funeral. In one way, it causes us to be more closely knitted. I am also somehow closer to my mum.

I also manage to meet a lot of my friends when I am back. MAKAN meeting is always on my agenda and I am glad that they make time for me even with their busy schedule. Took a lot of photos with them, do go into the Makan Web link provided in my blog to access them. I also had a nice chat with my army and sec bros too.

I also manage to meet out with my in-laws and had a great fun time with them over dinner. The crabs that I ate with them are simply marvellous. I nearly had supper every night and I guess I became fatter due to it too. Time to go on diet! LoL

Now I am back in Perth, its time to work hard and move on. Indeed I feel sad to leave Sg and return to work in Perth. However, the lively and friendly atmospheres at my workplace really live my spirits up. The dinner with my friends yesterday at northbridge and my wife care towards me neutralised the homesickness poison away.

Finally, thanks everyone in Sg who bother to keep in contact with me and I really appreciate every moments spent with pple who are impt to me.

Some Thoughts

Yesterday two of my pals left Singapore for Sydney for education and career purposes. I wish them well with the path that they chosen.

They remind me of the times when I first come to Perth for my studies. Uncertainties, scared, excited, homesickness and zero-confidence were a terrible mixed of feeling for me then. The notion of terrible racism so talked about in Sg by my friends doesn’t help much too. Upon reaching Perth, the cold gust of wind pushes me further into my negative concept of Perth. I was the typical ignorant Sgrean then; only know the little red dot and nothing else out of the dot. The swan river in Perth show me how a river should look like, not like some muddy pool of water, the beaches in Perth show me what real beaches should be. The relaxed lifestyle shows me how a human should live. Before you all call me a quitter or slacker, I would like to emphasize that I still love my country but maybe not the way of life. Anyway, racist is almost non-existent to me, I am lucky that til now there has been no case of racist activities against me. To think about it, racist or being a 2nd class citizen happens everywhere in the world even in your own country. Rich VS poor, Elite VS commoners, citizen VS foreigners… it all exist everywhere. To me now, Sg is still my home but Perth is my home too!

Education is also very much different. There is no such thing as from the book answer for my exams. Common knowledge, application and out of the box answer is the key to achieve good results. The lecturers do not only give lectures but expect us student to teach him too with stuff we learned from our experience or net. Many times I had witness students disagreeing with lecturers’ point of view with their own rational thinking. I guess that’s explains why foreigners are more proactive or outspoken in their activities.

After graduating, working in Perth has also been an eye-opener. A boss and an employee basically have no clear line in between them. There is minimal cases of the mentality of the boss-know-all concept and mutual respect is forged btw the 2 classes. Working hours are flexible, family friendly and timesheets are based on trust. Overall there is not much rat race going on at the current stage. Tax is high but claimable towards the end of financial year. Working here really gives me more time to have more life. Some of my friends think that it is too boring over here but think about it. I work 38-40hours per week, go home at 5 per day, leaving me plentiful of personal time rather than slogging til 7-8pm and reach home at 9 then sleep, next day restart routine again.

Overall the journey has been pleasant for me at the current stage. I cannot foresee what will happen in future but I guess I just need to deal with all the problems I met in life.

Updates!

I had decided to stay in PERTH regarding to my previous post. My dad advice is good and logical. No point gambling and relearning for a long time only to find out the golden era has passed.

Currently, I have been trying to plan a holiday trip to Bunbury for the weekend with my wife and friends. Planning to fished, BBQ our hunted fished, go sightseeing and enjoy life with them. However, the plan has been delayed due to the frequent thunderstorm and rainy season in Perth. Yesterday there was even a hale storm! Hale storm is the rain being freeze to ice and comes down to earth as a solid rain drops. Sounds frightening? Well, Yeah! What a big contrast to Sg weather now!

I have been trying to plan a trip with my wife. Maybe I will go back Sg towards the end of July or early August or if possible, go Hongkong in September for our Birthday! Still considering!

Tonite my wow guild is meeting Matt and Gret for dinner. They are coming to Sydney soon for studies and greener pastures. Firstly, I welcome them to join me in Aussie!! First advice I shall give them is “PREPARE YOUR WINTER CLOTHES”! Being overseas for long period of time is never easy. Away from family, friends and the challenges of meeting new people with totally different culture is never a easy task. Get ready to fit in the culture so that you guys can adapt easier; especially useful for Gret as she is working over here soon.

Entire week will be raining... bored...

XRoads

It’s been a chaotic week for me this week. My sis and dad recently told me that other companies are asking our company to venture beyond Singapore, namely: China and Dubai. No doubt this is a great opportunity for our company to venture into unknown horizons and strike it big. Our company is rather well known for our quality work and timely deliverables thus the background is already strong. However in the past, I always thought that being stuck in Sg, the construction business will not be going anywhere. My dad reluctance for me to go back to help him further de-motivate me to go back. Now, don’t get me wrong, my dad do not want me to follow his path to success as it is a very long and painful process. 24/7 hour work timings is normal for him and he really need to slog it out entire life for his sweet success now. That’s the reason on why he encourage me to venture to Australia and get my PR. Now that I got my PR, got a decent job and a possible promotion in the near future in hand.

I am stuck btw a decision which will determine my future life.

1) Stay in Perth
2) Go back Sg help with family business


Scenario 1
If I stay in Perth, no doubt I live comfortable with enough to spend. Of course, do not anticipate high life like what I am used to back in Sg. The income will be stable and consistent. The working hours will be normal and stress level will be likely average. However, I will be working under others and no matter how hard I work, I am still just an employee. I need to fly around if I am promoted as well which really adds to the stressed too.

Considering the fact that I am away from my family also, so this is really a minus point.

Scenario 2
If I go back Sg to help, definitely, I will be slogging for the first 3 years or maybe rest of my lifes. Working 7-7 Monday to Friday and Saturday 7-5 (Basic Hours) and some OT really is a big contrast to my current life. I will be taking pay cut too as I will be starting from the lowest level. However, this is only the starting phase which I must learn in order to gain respect and skill to command others. Being back also meant I will be near my family and my friends.

If our venture is successful, I guess I will fulfil my dreams of being a successful biz man and who knows, I might be able to retire early if permitted.

I am really being torned apart by this 2 scenario now. I don’t mind hardship, I don’t mind low pay if its my own company but I guess I do required support from my dad who seems to disapprove of Scenario 2. I guess I am just a whiner now. People been telling me that I am smart for getting high academics results or is highly adaptive to environment, but to me, now I am a failure. I guess I shall wake up my idea and come out with a decision soon.

Makan Folks Part 1

Since Hadas, CT and Tinkky wrote on people of our guild. I shall do the same but only write on negative comments about them! (Copyright issue and you guys must be sick of all the bad things!)


GL : CT or DP (The Bringer of Corruption) “RE of the DOH-RE-ME CLUB”
My guildleader is a rogue or warlock who keeps thinking he is a tank. Don’t get me wrong here, I feel safe going to instance with him as the mobs will go for him instead of me when the tanks die which keeps me alive. Hehz. BTW he is a very mean person who say I am very greenish and whitish! TAKE TAT CT! Be fearful of my loyal blog fans! AhAHAHA

In real life, every morning I come to work, in my mail box bound to have his email. He will discuss girls with me and all the perverted issue he can think of. He always think he is a Jap which I guess he only inherit the perverted genes. To me, he is a 90% bengz, 5% dragonball, 4.99% perverted man with 0.01% jap hair! Ahahaa Overall he is a good man, willing to help and always likes to carry a lot of burden on himself. LOSEN UP and you find your life to be better!

Aromir: Holy Priest (The Bringer of AFK)
Hehe, My hardcore healer who never fail to amaze me with his healing ability. HOWEVER, when the elite calls, its time to summon portal and run. He always likes to try special tactics on mobs which increase my financial burden.

In real life, I prefer to term him Ekin (he got zheng yi jian ah beng hair) or lie huo zhan che (he drive a bike) LoL. However you guys won’t be able to imagine his occupation!! He is a teacher or someone who looks after kids. P.S. Heng I in Australia, my kids won’t be under him... if not all keep ekin Ah beng hair and ride a super motorbikes.

Hadas: Holy Priest (The Bringer of Noise Pollution)
Yeah…. He is a very noisy priest. He has just recently returned to wow because he miss us. He also converted from shadow to holy, thus increases the share market of Tinkky (sighz). He is one of the priests I feel safe to be with! However he is very grouchy if we wiped too many times and I incur his wrath a lot of times!

In real life, sometimes I just think there won’t be any world peace with him around. Too much noise pollution! He nags at a supreme level which will put my mum or grandma to shame. Among his noise pollution, there are a mixture of good advise too! Only ask his advice when you have lots of time! Hehe.

Xavilee: Tank (The Bringer of Manly Voice) “Me of the DOH-RE-ME CLUB”
He used to be the paper tank of Makan. (EVEN NOW ALSO PAPER TANK!!!!) Hehz. Nah.. he is one of the best prot tank you can get now in Dragonmaw (Dunno will kana lightning strike a not for lying). He shield me from mobs and ensure my safety when I never irritate him, but come on, I cannot resist the idea of making him angry. Aahahha

In real life, he is a very emotional and always thinks that he got 6th sense. He looks like a giant and you will feel safe with him around. He is the “me” member of the Doh,Re,Me club. Btw Doh is curry, Re is CT, Me is xavi. People who like them call them Gang of brothers, I prefer to call them Super Mario Brothers. Ok.. Who wanna be the Dinosaur Yoshi!

Curry: Gay Pally (The Bringer of Garang Healer) “Doh of the DOH-RE-ME CLUB”
Curry is the first pally healer who went to tank with Xavilee in the front lines because he is bored. A very unconventional healer, Must be a combat medic. LoL.

In real life, he is the big brother of the DOH RE ME club and the only one attached. Always like to take extra pose photos which makes me laugh.

Beef and SS (Guo Jing and Huang Rong)
Beef and SS is one of the pioneer members of Makan. They really reflect the sex inbalance nowadays. SS is the blood thirsty rogue who will kill you if you say anything bad and Beef is the medic always making sure she is alive.
./SS vanish
./SS poke Maicha for saying she bloodthirsty!

Hehz, Always good to go instance with them as they always make me laugh with their comments. A side note : if either of them dies in battle, the other will go enraged mode and the rest of the party can sit one corner and drink tea. HAHAHA


WTM and Tinkyy (Arcatrax 2nd and 3rd boss)
They are like the Arcatrax 2nd and 3rd boss who keep suaning each other with their comments, (Although I see WTM fighting a losing battle) but actually they are just a weird loving couple. WTM is one of the best hunter I seen so far but he always abused his pet so much that I feel sorry for it. Tinkyy is the BEST shadow priest in Makan (We got only one shadow priest…) who kicks my ass many times in pvp. Time for revenge!!! They are one couple who won’t enrage when the other dies when fighting…
./WTM take bow and aim shot at Maicha
./Tinkyy turn shadow and prepare to MINDFRAY
Kidding ONLY!!

In real life, they are like their game character. Non Stop suaning each other with funny comments but always like to do small things to show their love for each other.


This is only PART 1 of Makan people Introduction. Do stay tuned for part 2 which will have Thorpey the stripper, the shen diao xia nu (Gret and Matt), Naan the gay healer, Tako the big owl, and the trees gang!

BTW any guilds willing to take me in? In case I kana /gkick for all these comments.

Gratz to Diana

Today is 18th June 2007. It’s one of the most important day of my friend in her life. Marriage! Today is my girl buddy Diana Lim and her hubby Robin marriage. Sincerely I congrats them from the bottom of my heart and wish them everlasting love and bliss. It’s a painful decision for me to choose not to attend their wedding due to work and distance constraints.

Sometimes, I feel being overseas working is a pain. Unable to attend important event of my family and friends really demoralised me. Sighz.

For some introductions, Diana was my polytechnic friends and might be one of the first few girls buddies that I had made during my poly durations. I was previously from a All boys secondary school so I was quite a blank piece of paper regarding girls before I join polytechnic. Well, time spent was indeed worth remembering and to cherish. She helps me with most of my BGR problem during polytechnic days also with another buddy Gary Yap. LoL.. I still remember the times when I did stupid things and confide in them and also our late supper trip and all our sharing of problems regarding our life. I remember the night when she called me frightened and crying regarding her some personal problems which caused me to fly to her house in the middle of the night (No driving license yet). Also the time when we went to her dad coffee shop where I make stupid remarks which make them laugh at me for that year.

Also remember our new year countdown at orchard road year 2000. She was suddenly strike by Asthsma attk which caused me and Gary to carry her on foot all the way from Orchard MRT to Newton MRT. Damn far distance. At that moment, I know that Girls equal trouble equations. AHAHA KIDDING lar!

By the way, my first friends tour also has her in my group. Remember the adventurers 4 , me, xiaoqiang, munpeng and Diana, cheong to Genting Island and get our asses kicked by the casino! The drunkard KTV and all the stupid stuff we did. Pity that I left our photos back in my Singapore Home, if not I will post them up for a laugh~ LoL

Hehe. Most importantly, always remember the victims of her relationship and always me and gary need to go carve the tombstone of the “dead” victims. AHAHAHA.

No matter what, I wish you all the best and do send me your wedding photos, ok??

With Regards,
Wei

A cold Fact

Hey guys~
It's the time of the week again. UPDATES of my blog!!! lol

btw I came across this blog a few minutes ago ,http://tanlh81.blogspot.com/, I urged people to read it. Its quite sad to know that we as a human, supposed to be the cleverest in the animal chain or whatever, are ugly as a whole. Has our values deintergrated generations by generations? Has our morale education failed us? Or has the society forced us to be the monster we are now?

Well, the truth is we are never content. We know how to take but not how to gives. Our planet suffers greatly due to this. All of us know this but our great leaders of dunno which country insist nothing is wrong and continue to seek his money. LoL.

Even back in my homeland, people are persuing materialistic items aggressively. Some charity organisation are profiteering from our charity hearts. To be frank, now if someone ask me to donate, I am very wary of giving as I dunno whether I am donating or paying for someone else vainity. I hope those who cheat others out of their charity heart shall pay for their debts and I hope they really will repent what they did.

Updates

Well, my life has always been the extreme. Always damn hard and complex initially but gets a bit sweet towards the end. Question marks on your head? Well some examples to back my claimed….

Instance One – Poly Days
I chose a Pioneer course (Engineering Informatics) which was a combination of IT and Manufacturing units. It wasn’t exactly hard but kinda feels like a white mouse being tested under the test tube when the course coordinators are experimenting with the right mix of units for us students.

End Results:
Got my diploma with hell lots of good friends whom I cherish even til now or the day I die.

Instance two – NS BMTC
I was sent to the most “siong” (violent) units in Palau Tekong. The units was Mohawk Co. in school 2. People have been telling me that the NS then was slacked with many welfare and no abuses from higher rank pple. Well, that doesn’t happen in my company; I was treated with break camps with thunder flash thrown inside my tent during my outfield, I was abused by uniform changed routine at 3 am blah blah blah.

End results:
To be a tougher man~~~~

Instance three – NS Units
Just when I thought I am tougher, I was sent to 2SIR. Further abused and culture shock happened during that duration, I would described 2 SIR alpha to be a uni and Mohawk was just a kindergarden as a comparison. Hehe, inhumane acts was carried out to train us to be infantry and lotsa shit work to do even after outfield exercise.

End Results:
Through hardship, strong friendship bonds are forged.

Instance Four – University
Upon reaching Uni, I was duped into taking 2 of the siong units usually shunned by students as my elective units. Siong it is… hard it is…. Those were the days I really slog it out to get mediocre results. LoL. After graduating from my bach, a honors degree was offered to me which I took it up readily. Again, my backside is itchy, so instead of picking easy research units, I chose a research topic which nobody has done before (pioneer again… sighs) and a lot harder. I struggled to stay afloat and luckily with a good supervision Dr Wei Liu (Thanks for enduring all my lousy grammatical errors and essay); I managed to pull it through.

End Results:
With many smoke bombs and hardship, manage to make it!

Instance four – Work
After graduate, I applied for my PR. Initially I planned to apply it myself (Wanted to save a few pennies), however as time passed by, I discover that the process is too long. I cannot find a IT job fulltime without my PR. Thus I started working in my friend’s factory. 9 whole months in that factory; I am happy working there but the prospects are just isn’t there! I basically wasted 9 months with no work experience. After I got my PR, I was introduced to Woodside for contractor job. It was good money and the environment was good too. However the learning curve wasn’t really great. I was panicky about my future and quite depressed over it.

Currently, my contractor boss gives me a good opportunity to work full time in a big scale Engineering S/W provider firm. Of course, I am very happy but I feel unsecured to the new field that I will be exposed to when the firm confirmed my application.

Hehe. This is just some timeline of my life to share with my loyal viewers.

Season Transition

It’s the session transition of the year again. The transition from summer to autumn always never fails to inflict me with cough, flu and my worst nightmare…. SORE THROAT. You might be strange on why sore throat is my worst nightmare. Simple… with sore throat, I CANNOT EAT THE FOOD I LIKE! I am a human being who only lived for my unhealthy, oily and tasty food! I mean we work so hard, is it only for: 1) Luxury items? 2) Live comfortably? 3) Enjoy Life?. The answer is ALL. Luxury item to me is nice food, to live comfortably means good food and to enjoy life means to be able to eat whatever I want. Sounds like a glutton? Yeah I AM ONE! Anyway, took a MC for yesterday to stay home and recover. Seems to be effective as I am alive kicking and shouting at this current moment.

I also discover that my mum health has not really been good recently. I hope she be healthy always. Got a piece of advice to her from her son: “Think positively and you be healthy and HAPPY” Easy advice but how many people in the world can actually think positively always? I am lucky that I am quite positive thinker and takes everything is my strides no matter what happen.

Btw, I was playing WoW during my recovery stances yesterday when someone I know ask me a question which caught me dumbfounded: “You guys don’t like me is it? Why I always ask for instance, nobody respond?” Well, this question displays the level of morale we had in our guild recently. We had a guild conflict a few weeks back which caused people to leave. Although we had an officer meeting last Monday, I hope we were not too late to salvage our guild~ “IT ONLY A GAME, WHY SO SERIOUS?” Yeah I agree it’s only a game, but people I know through it, friendship forged in instance are real friendship too! Even though I got many offer to join some hardcore uber guild, but I still chose to stay on with my friends.

Okok, I am in office now. I guess I should get back to work. Do check my blog for updates even though I seldom update them! But HEY, whats fun is there if I everyday update and you guys expected my post to be there. Got more surprise element if I update every now and then, right? (Good excuse to be lazy)

A Rather sad week

UPDATES for Last WEEKEND.

Basically I got nothing much done last weekend. I drove Damien around Perth in search of a car and was happy to travel around sightseeing and looking at some of the super nice decor house around. After searching his car for sat and sun, he finally settled for a L3.0 Camry Conquest at 9k+. Feel happy for him that he got what he wanted. Wonder when then he will allow me to whack his engine~~ ahaha.

Wow has also been in trouble lately. The quarrels btw frenz really dampen my mood. The leaving of guild by one of my closed mates , Jeffrey, really make me feel sad. I have been with him ever since I start playing Wow. Of course, we share problems and happiness together which explains our bond. Sighz. I hope he will enjoy the game more now and still jio me for watever instance he wants~.

Been having some issue at home over INITIATIVENESS nowadays also, pple has been quite bo chap over house issue nowadays. I guess the allocation of the housework was not clear cut and thus need more refining.. Shall hold a house meeting to settle that so shouldn't be a problem. What can be more impt than returning to a happy home. I feel depressed and stressed this few days due to the abnormal atmosphere around my house which are supposed to be happy to returned to.

Anyway, I watched spidey 3 last night. Quite a good show, do catch it while you can.

HAPPY LABOUR DAY

Been a while since I last blogged (Pictures post not counted), decided to pick up my keyboard and type away since my work server is down. Yesh, I am in my office on 1st May 2007 working hard while my counterparts are enjoying a holidays in Sg. DO NOT EVER SAY WORKING IN AUSTRALIA IS SLACK AGAIN HOR!

Anyway post some clips of my life; my dad car was smashed into rubbles past few days. Luckily he was not in the car then. Apparently, some guy who got YANG DIAN FENG was driving past his parked car and his illness took over his body which causes the incident. Coincidentally, one of the big Japanese fish which my dad rears in my house fishpond dies at the same day. Hmmm call it superstitious but I believe that fish block the accident away from my dad. I promise not to eat FISH in this entire week! LoL

I am still struggling of when to start my chemical engineering cert (part time) which will allow me to advance further in my career. I shall discuss with my boss on that issue soon to reach a resolution.

Recently, I’ve been appointed as the Class Leader of the mages in WOW. Well, there has been mixed feelings about my “promotion”. Firstly, I just want to enjoy the game and refused to be involved in any politics. You may not believe it but there IS some politics even in game. I shall try my best although my ability is limited. I shall only be concerned about the mages gears, problems and allocating them a slot in the Raids while enjoying the game. Hehz. Been quite sad about my Maicha also… not much gearing up since the last month… sobz… most mages already over-take my in gears already… sighz…

Finally I want to wish all those in sg now a HAPPY LABOUR DAY. This day is allocated to all fellow labourers sgrean who toll and work hard for a living~.

Easter Break

Its Tuesday which marks the starting of my work after 4 days break. My Easter break has been meaningful for me and my wife. We spend quite some time together doing things together rather than I saving the world myself. LoL.

My breakdown of Easter Break.

Friday – Saturday ----- ROTTNEST ISLAND CHALET 2D1N STAY.
Rottnest Island is always one of my fav island to go stay for a night. Away from the city, nice scenary, fresh air, outdoor activities and beaches never fail to lift my spirits. Our trip comprises of 10 adventurers people, namely: Me, Sandy, Raymond, John, Yvonne, Victor, Damien, Mindy , Jennifer and Tom.

We reach the island at about 10-11+am. However due to the peak period, we can only check in the chalet at 2pm. We explore a bit and ate lunch at the shopping area of the island. By the time we check in and settle down, its about 2.30pm. Without wasting time, we rush to the beach which is just beside our chalet. The beach beside our chalet really makes sentosa beach like long kang zhui (drain water if you don’t understand). I wouldn’t want to go Sentosa ever after again manz. Well, we sabo each other, bury john and took a lot of photos.

During the evening, we went to rent the bicycles to further explain the Island. The island was 22KM in length and 10+ KM in width. We had a BBQ after that. Hmmm… all the nice food…..
Played Victor Polar Bear game for the night, Interesting game, Shall teach you guys when got chance.

Next morning, the bikers gang woke up at 6am and start our expedition to conquer the island. However due to time constraint, we only manage to cycle a small part of the island.

Photos will be posted below to support my claims.

Btw I also bring my Jazz to the dog beach on Monday. Will blog about that in the middle of this week.

Too Much wow???

It’s been about 7 months since I embark on my journey to save the world as a horde in WoW (World of Warcraft). I would like to say that it has been a fun and exciting game experience for me since then. I took about one month to reach level 60, went for raids like ZG, AQ and even MC. Challenges of the raiding never bores me down and I am always looking for new instance or new party to raid with.

Connecting with my guild members also proved to be a exhilarating experience as I know a great deal of people in my guild. Never will I know a friend in US or Japan if I never play WoW. My life revolves around work, eat, sleep and wow most of the time since then.

Yesterday I decided that I probably should try to cut down my playing time as I have been neglecting my wife much and never spend much quality time with her. I would like to express my apology to her and will try to cut down on my own. Well, those in my guild do not despair also~~ I will still come in to raid and some instances but not as much as last time thou. My gears are roughly there already so quite lucky that I wouldn’t need to spend so much time farming for gears anymore except for instance like karazhan or above.

MAKAN FOREVER!!!

I WANT A PS3!!!

Yo, time to update blog again~ Yesh, I am currently in office now… finished up most of my work and slacking around~ LoL. My boss had a chat with me a few days back and I guess I should just provide a brief summary of the meeting. Firstly, I would like to congrats myself on getting extended on my contract. Hehe.. I have been working in Woodside for about 3 months already and it really is a welfare company. For lazy pple like me, it’s like a dream come true~Ahahah. My boss also mentioned that I am selected and might be pushed to full time after a year in Woodside. Of course, I need to prove to them that I am able to master the software that they are going to teach me soon within that time frame. If all turns out good, I will be a full-time WORKBENCH VPE Administrator soon and might be needed to travel around doing up the configuration. LoL Exciting times eh??

Another thing is Wx msn me this morning. I was shocked to find out that he GOT A PS3 ALREADY!!! DAMN YOU! Apparently Singapore is selling PS3 at 799 each, which is damn cheap compared to Aussie 1k AUD. My heart now is starting to itch~~~ I WANT TO OWN one TOO!!! Before you guys want to comment that games is only for kids, YOU ARE DAMN WRONG! Gaming industry has improved leaps and bound and is not a constraint to all age group. For an end note, I hope to own one PS3 real soon~~ Any charitable person who want to give me as a present, please leave your comments~ Aha

Happy Birthday~~

Sorry that I hadn’t really been updating my blog with pieces of my life but with junk news or critics of movies. LoL. I would like to use this blog posting to congratulate two of my closest friends in this world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Mr Chia Wei Ming on 14th March!
I would like to express my happiness in knowing him personally. Having him around always makes me happy as he always do crappy stuff which never fails to amuse pple. Trustworthy is a word to describe him, in times of battle, I will always trust my back against his. One of my best army buddies I had! Still remember the times he kana charged to stay in camp for 14 days. I will da bao outside food for him when I book in and he always show his appreciation with his watery eyes~~ ahaha. Also remember the days we went clubbing and ogling at girls, sometimes he get naughty and went to ask the gal’s information for me without me knowing! Thanks man for making me malu! Although I am in Perth but YOU are always my best friend for the rest of my life PRI CHIA! Also specials thanks for introducing your friends (which became mine too) Steven, Da Weiming and WeiXiong! Always remember the time when we go commando cycling in Changi although some slacker fall out by destroying his own wheel!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Mr Zhi Zhong on 19th March!
ZhiZhong~ You always my buddies in Buddhist teaching and of course KPing about another close friends of ours~ Hehe. Remember, Buddhist teaches us to be benovalent, so we cannot give up on our friend and make him more sensible~~ *vomit blood* …… LoL May your future stays bright and be healthy always~

Well in case of someone complaining, Step. You also one of my BEST FRIEND! Hehe. So mai jealous hor!

Pursuit of Happiness

I recommend this movie strongly to everyone I know. It was acted by Will Smith. Well, the story is based on an individual who believe in his dreams and stick it through among all the odds. I had to admit that the character initially do not really looks good to me as he evades tax payment and follow on his dreams regardless of his wife sufferings. His wife was working 16hr per day and he expects her to do everything else – take care of kids, cook and whatever while he sells his medical products aimlessly. The character also had a problem with losing his product either of being naïve or carelessness. LoL However, the character will and strength to carry on his dream really impressed me. Imagine he took an internship at a stockbroker firm with no pay for 6th months when he was quite broke and with a child to take care of. I think he should initially let the child follow his mum as his mum will be in a better position to take care of him with a low pay but proper job but hey… at least better than internship with no pay! Even with 4 medical product on hand in his situation, there’s no guarantee that he can sell them off for their daily expenses.

Nevertheless, this show really inspires me. What is my dream? Is my current situation really satisfy me? Well, no…. I guess I do not want to stuck as this me forever. I want an improvement to my life and working environment. It’s too uncompetitive in my current workplace. For those friends back in my homeland, Please… see this movie and decide what you want. What you really want in life…. :D At the end of the day, we can only blame ourselves for which kinda life we have.

LONG Weekends AGAIN

Well..... March 05 is the labour day of Australia which means LONG WEEKEND again. Working in Australia for about 3 months now and it has been really plain sailing for me. Countless parties during office hours, countless halfday and countless long weekend really proves to me that the working environment over here is damn FRIENDLY. LoL Those in SG working like shit now, PLEASE do not ENVY~~~ LoL.

Anyway, no plans yet for this long weekend. Damien has asked me if I want to join them on Saturday for crabbing session but I have really not much interest in crabbing (I hate to get wet). LoL. Alex is asking whether wanna organised a BBQ at woodman point -> BBQ while watching SUNSET but it was not confirmed yet. Or isit another day slogging my day trying to save the World of Azeroth or Outlands rendering my service to any guildies who might need a tanker mage to tank MOBS for them? Life is uncertain and thus my programs for this week is uncertain too. Will update with photos if I decide to do anything.

Hmm yesterday I called a friend who was depressed and try to console her and make her drop the idea of doing stupid stuff. I just had a friend who done something bad which makes me sad. I hope she is not the 2nd one. If she is reading my post now, there is something I want to say to her. LIFE IS A TORTURE BUT CAN BE BEAUTIFUL. It's all depends on individual perspection! Forinstance, if I strike lotto, will I still feel sad because I will worry about theft or security reasons if I think negatively. Will I throw away the winning ticket bcos of this???? The answer is NO! GET THE MONEY AND SPENT IT FAST!!! Den you won't worry. LoL.

Life is SHORT, enjoy everything about it~~ Everyone live only once so cherish it~

LOST

Hey~ Sorry that I had not been updating my blog for the past week. Too busy as it was CNY and my wife's family came over Perth for a visit.

I would say that I am very happy that they came, more laughter and happiness around the house always makes me happy. We went to quite a number of places, namely : Swan Valley (Chocolate factory and winetasting), Pinnacles (Desert, 4WD, Koalas, Kangeroos......), Dolphine Tour, City, Freo and places around Perth. It was tired but fulfilling to see family members happy. In fact, yesterday when they are leaving back for Singapore, I feel lonely, lost and even sad to see them leave. Guess that's the retribution of going overseas seeking for a greener pasture. Sighz. Can't have best of both worlds eh.... Sighz

Work Updates 2.0

As I promised, here is some updates for my work progress. Currently I am under a guy who is mentoring and teaching me some of his basic DBA skills. However, the DBA skills that he impart to me are quite unique against other DBA I had encountered before. The software was VPE WorkBench. From my understanding, this software was developed by AVEVA and only used in big companies mainly for Oil & Gas industry. Been having quite good progress except sometimes I finish my work load too fast and had to wait for more work load. Hmm… Guess I am not used to the slow pace here yet… LoL. But at least I AM LEARNING SOMETHING NOW. My boss is hoping me to share some or minimal workload from my teacher. My teacher has been burdened with too many work lately. LoL. I hope I can learn everything from him asap.

Hehe, from what I know… (guessing only) his pay is at least 100 per hour.. WTF!!!!! One day he earn 800!!!!!!!! Hehez.. I guess when I got that kinda pay, I be damn rich. 100 per hour = 800 per day. A week is 800*5 = 4k. WTF… Anyway… I am not greedy~~ Just one powerball and I buy myself an island to play~~ ahahaaha. Dream on .... I shall dream on~~~

V-DAY PLOT

Yesterday was the day of agony for most of the guys. Yesh! You guess it correctly, VALENTINE DAY, was indeed the worst festive season of the year. No public holidays, same workload as any normal days, no festive payout but it comes with mental stress and financial stress. We GUYS are expected to come up with surprises, gifts, romantic venues for dinner or whatever of nonsense that you can think of. HEY, I thought girls want an equal status with man??? Why are we doing all the shit jobs while you are enjoying? So much for sexual equality. Again, don’t get me wrong, this is not a woman bashing post. In fact, I respect woman a lot. Most important people of my life – my mum is a woman (of course).

What I am trying to convey in this post is why we are subjected to the mercy of evil merchants on this fateful day. Obviously, this day was conjured out by merchants who were out to rip us out of our money. Roses costs 10 buck per stalk, gifts prices increases and of course, restaurant dinner prices increases exponentially too. All this for vanity? I always believe if two person are truly in love, we don’t need valentine day to remind us that we are in love. Gifts or surprised outing in normal days have much more surprise elements in them compared to the one organised on valentine day. V-DAY has become more or less a liability rather than a love thing between couples.

Well, for me, I didn’t get anything for my wife on VDAY. No gift rose or dinner… NOTHING! Before you guys want to comment me on being heartless or stooge, I like to say that I do sometimes buy stuff for her when I feel like it (on a random basis). I FOR ONE will not allow merchants to rip me off due to their evil schemes!!!

P.S. Thank you Sandy for understanding and your love~.

Heart crying out loud......

Hi all,
Actually I got 2 posts regarding my fishing trip and tree cutting experience to post but I decide to forgo them for the moment due to some traumatic shock I had during the weekend.

As I mentioned above, last weekend was a shock and sad phase of my life. I happen to know that one of my friend pass away on Friday. He was young, intelligent and full of drive. Talented man who always knows what he wants in life. He was away from family most of the time due to overseas studies, working etc……

I went to his funeral, saw his dad crying…. At that moment… a pang of sadness hit me badly. What can be more torturous than sending your own son off to the afterlife? I can sense his sorrow and grief. My heart pains deeply but there was nothing I can offer to lessen his grief. Maybe if we care more about people around us, we wouldn’t regret when they are gone. I really regret the many times that I reject going drinking with him when he was around. If only time can be reversed, I will do anything to spend more time with him. So many if only, but what is done cannot be reversed…… I strongly URGED all those reading this post now to cherish what they have – be it family, friends or even enemies. When one is dead, there’s nothing left including hate or any negative feelings towards the dead.

This really impacts me a lot. Why am I in Perth away from my family? I am supposed to be working for a good life (good pay, relax hours and job scope) in Perth. I can say that I hit my target but something is missing in me. Choices are always made in life and I wonder if I made the right one this time. From the funeral, I suddenly miss my mum and dad. I wanted to hug them and tell them I LOVE them although I don’t know how to show concern for them. From appearance, I am a cold person with no expression on my face, guess I inherit that from my dad, but really… that moment really hit me with homesickness so badly.

Well… I want to take this chance to say this to those who I know – my pri, sec, poly, uni and friends that I have now, I wish to keep closer contacts with you guys. I like to confer my gratitude for enduring all my shortcomings and still maintaining the friendship with me.

Now for me, I shall try to get over this shock soon. Btw I hope 3 of my other friends in Singapore – Andy, Ben and Xiao Bai Cai to take good care for themselves.

DECISION MADE

Hey, time to announce my decision regarding my previous post. Will it be painful for me to go back SG alone leaving my wife in Perth or will it be painful to stay put in Perth away from my Parents? *Rabbit marching in beating drums* Thud,Thud,Thud,Thud~~~~”
*TADA*
DECISION: STAY IN PERTH!!

Well, after some discussion with my mum, I feel that it will be best for me to stay in Perth during CNY as I don’t think it’s a nice idea to leave Perth when my in-laws are coming over and it is not worth to go back for 2-3 days only either. Sorry to disappoint pple who thinks that I will be coming back. Sorry for those who gamble on my returns~ LoL. Stephanie, Sorry that I cannot make it for ur birthday (which I never did anyway) but I promise I will give u a nice dinner treat when I am back next time. Just remember to ask me for it if not I will forget! BTW u can come over Perth to spank me if you want! Ahahaha.

Another thing to take note is I want to congrats Jasmine on her Wedding in January. Hope its not too late. Will keep u guys updated on where I will be going during Australia Day holidays which is tomorrow! 3 more HOURS to finish work for my LONG WEEKEND!! Wee!!!

CNY DILEMMA

Yo~ As you all know, CNY is approaching which drops me into a sticky situation. Being in a chinese oriented family, CNY is meant as a gathering for all family members. However, I missed last year gathering due to my PR status in Australia. (Pretty strong reasons not to go back.) This year however is different. I am able to go back for a few days (2-3) but one question remains: is it worth to go back for just a few days? Air ticket isn’t exactly cheap nowadays with the rising airport tax and the most important thing is that my wife’s family is coming over for a visit. Personally, I dread the idea that I am not around when they come for a visit. I feel strange and a bit unfeeling towards this scenario. But if I wanted to be with them during their visit, my holidays in Sg will be cut short which makes it not worthy to go back. Another reason is I am saving up for my wedding, house or watever you can named it so over spending is a NO-NO situation for me currently.

Sighz…. But on the other hand, I want to make my mum happy. I call her to consult her over this problem but she seems ok about it. She’s quite a modern type of mother. lol

I guess I cannot have the best of both worlds. Anyway, I will be pondering about this question for a few days til I make my decision. For now, the scoreline of my decision is :

GOING BACK VS STAY IN PERTH
30% VS 70%

Diary of a boring working class

Life has been the same for me since the last entry. A thing to take note for this week is that Friday is a HOLIDAY (Australia Day)! There will be a 30k worth of fireworks display right in the middle of the swan river (mill point river area), a 25k worth of fireworks at Hillarys and Freomental which really give me something to look forward to during this National Day. Strange for me to say but yesh… it’s a 0.5 National Day for me since I am only 0.5 citizen in Australia (PR only mahz). Who cares when I got a free Holiday to slack around and venture in the dark abyss of OUTLAND?

Anyway, some plans for Aust day holidays.
PLAN 1 – Fishing in bunbury with UNI friends
PLAN 2 – Fishing with friends from factory
PLAN 3 – Venture the dark abyss of OUTLAND and see fireworks at night
PLAN 4 – Wait for people to jio me out.

Hmmm, 4 PLANs but no idea to follow which one. I don’t wish to spend too much money as well so see how economical each plan is bah.

Next Monday 29th Jan is my 3rd year wedding anniversary. In my blog, I wish to express my love and gratitude to my wife and maybe apologize to her if I had neglected her (been saving the World too much…. Being a hero is hard) or anything for the past year. Hope that we stay happy forever.

Diary of an Undead mage

16th January 2007,

Roaming around the land of BADLANDS, Maicha was frost bolting one of the legions slave when the dark portals suddenly stirs mysterically with a strange glow of light. Feeling courageous, Maicha trek safely to the Dark portal and touches the portal with his skeleton hands. THE DARK PORTAL to OUTLAND has been OPENED. Maicha prepares his first step into the unknown environment awaiting him on the other end of the portal.

Venturing out of Azeroth to Outlands, Maicha realised that his lvl 60 is not all-powerful anymore. Craving for more power, he decides to kick legion ass for power and experience in combat. Braving the dark corners of hellpenisula plains and the dungeons of Hell fire, Maicha took on quest and complete them with his Frost spells and extreme reflexes. The high warlord gear worn are no longer useful, thus new gears are replaced. With new found powers and gears, Maicha is ready to take on more challenges of Outlands and make the world a more cruel place to stay. Undead mage shall rulez the world once again!

Does GHOST or GOD exist?

Some snapshot of my week :
17th Jan was the birthday of my house mate~~ We went to sizzler for dinner in a form of celebration. I have some comments to the working staff in the innerloo sizzler branch : Kudos to the service staff and BOO to the chef in sizzler! I would like to say that the chef sucks as they cook irregardless of how well you want you meat to be. Really no purpose in taking our order of how well cooked (well done, medium ……etc) if the chef don’t really want to follow it. I order a medium sizzling mushroom steak but they gave me a nearly chao ta one!!!! WTF… same for my friends order also. Two of my friends complain to the waitress and to my surprise, they happily respond to the chef and change the entire plate for them. MIND YOU, that period of time was the busiest moment and they still got the mood to change it and serve us with great service. So much for Sg trying to be the best service country. You can’t find this kinda service in Sg in a buffet steak house. LoL

After the dinner, we proceed to my house for the cake cutting ceremony. I can see that my friend is quite moved by our gestured~ Happy for him too!

Towards the end of the night, we was watching Discovery channel on Ghost hauntings in houses. One of my friend , V, then told us he don’t believe in Ghost or God exist in our world. Well, probably the most debated issue around the world now…. I personally believe in ghost as I hear it myself before in army.

GHOST ENCOUNTER : 1
LOCATION : TEKONG ISLAND – MOHAWK COMPANY LEVEL 4 TOILETTIME : LATE IN THE NIGHT
ACTOR : ME and whatever thing in the toilet

Those from tekong will know that the toilet in our company is fixed with sensor which will on the lights if it sense people entering. I was sleeping halfway and need to heel my nature’s call. I proceed on to the toilet seeing that the toilet’s light is off thus meaning that no people is in the toilet before me. While I am pissing happily, I hear someone laugh behind me!!! How could it be possible that pple can be in the toilet when the sensor light is off. Sensing a dreadful feeling, I finish watever I am doing and rush out of the toilet to my room praying AH MI TUO FOR in my heart~


I believe one who die with hostile ends or with desires in the world will turn to negative energy which commonly we refer to as ghost. Perhaps its better to respect the unknown than to play around with it. LoL.
Main DEBATE is DO YOU TINK GOD OR GHOST EXIST! (By GOD i mean god of all religions)
Any opinions regarding whether you believe in ghost are welcomed in my comments section.

I miss POLY LIFE

2nd week since the birth of my blog and I am still quite hardworking about blogging~ Guess I must be bored~~ lol.

Anyway, one of my poly friends came over to Perth for a visit last week. Let’s name him “M”. Feel kinda happy and excited over his trip over, Its been so long since I met him or any Singapore friends came over to visit me ( Actually M came over to study for a week then visit me on the way lar… but who cares bout the details). He is bunking in my house from Sunday to Wednesday so got lots of time to spend with him. We went for a trip around Perth – Swan Valley, my school, mill point bbq and …… etc. Overall, it was good. I had quite a chat with him regarding our old times. Then, I discover that I miss my poly life a great deal suddenly. Those were the times with no worries and commitment. The days that we only spend in chasing girls, gossiping with friends and hanging around with poly mates. Gary, Xiaoqiang, Yensiang, Diana, Xueli, Sex Jie, Allan and many more~ Thanks for the happy moments manz….. Especially to Gary and Diana who see me through my hard times and console me when I was down. LoL ( Never forget that period of time when you guys are there for me always). Sighz.. if only time can be reversed, maybe I will cherished them more.

(pst For those who complain that I never miss UNI or AMRY, hear this : I MISS MY UNI AND ARMY LIFE TOO.. will blog and kaopei bout tat in later post~~~)

Anyway, I ask him about the working environment in Singapore. Well, the answer is quite expected but however I still clings to a hope that someday I will return to Singapore with a job that I am happy with à Prospect + Money + Personal time. Wishful thinking eh????~?~~? Lol
Anyway…. All my friends and family are in Singapore, so if the working environment in Singapore change for the better, maybe I juz buy a ticket and fly back~~

Another issue is TIGER airway is now flying from Singapore to Perth and vice versa as a budget airline! This means good news!!! I can fly back just for the weekend and eat my meepok then fly back with cheap costs. Those pple who wish that I go back can keep their finger cross… I might be back anytime with cheap air tickets!! Fwahahahahaha

Working Delimma

This is the 2nd week of year 2007. Currently I am at the 7th week in my work place. Well, as one of my colleague said to me; “This job has good money but minimal prospect.” This is definitely true for the first few weeks in my work place. All I have been doing til now is data entry, data checking and data management. Of course, I use some of my excel skills to program some macros or excel programming which makes my job easier. (pst. Also practise a bit on my VB programming at the same time.)

Well, the tide has been turned. I guess I am quite fortunate as I am an IT graduates which differentiates from my friend. They are in lack of VNET programmer or database administrator. Thus I guess me and my IT colleague, call him MR V, might be able to learn skills from the senior IT staff. For instance, MR V now is learning VNET configuration as I am typing my blog now. (In office blogging… lol) While on the other hand, I am the assistant to the database administrator guy. I hope some day I can learn his skills and maybe advance to VNET which I am already doing so secretly. LoL. I force MR V to give me the links to the tutorial of VNET so that I can pick up in my extra time. Hopefully everything turns out well in the end and I will gain immerse or more IT exposure in my current job.

Current job status :
PAY : DAMN good ( one of the highest graduate pay around)
ENVIRONMENT : DAMN good (I can leave anytime I want and everyone is nice to me. NO PRESSURE at all)
PROSPECT : Not good now but if they willing to train us will be damn good!

So overall, I guess I had decided to stay on for 6 months then I shall decide again to stay or leave. Guess will keep u guys updated on my decision bah!

Introduction

Well, its been roughly 1 yr plus since I had written a single blog entry. Yeah.. I know I am lazy but well….. who cares about what you think. Anyway, I decided to create this blog as I wanted to link it to my wow buddy blog in order to contribute constructive and valid posts based on my broken English. I am still a Singaporean with a broken singlish even after I got my Australia PR.

My Current Status :
SG 1.0 VS Australia 0.5 (PR nia) lol… So don’t call me a quitter or fake kang tang!!!

I come to Australia with glorious reason ; to earn money and bring back to Singapore to feed those elites vampires back home. LoL You will understand this statement only if you are a true Singaporean.

Since this is my first post on year 2007, I shall make this post short.
Another addition to my year 2007 resolution :
1) Post a blog entry reflecting my life or my undead mage life per week basis!!


So please feel free to drop in and give any comments to boost my morale. Without a responsive audience, I feel like writing to a wall.. LoL.
